The property is very beautiful and well kept. Staff is kind and welcoming. The lagoon around the island is magnificent. The bungalows are tastefully decorated and they feel very secluded and private.
Only 5 bungalows all directly on the beautiful water. Host was exceedingly accommodating as were the staff.
The food was excellent and there cannot be a better venue.
The water near the bungalows is too shallow to swim. The best swimming and snorkeling is 200 ft off shore. The cost for a round trip water taxi to Raiatea or Tahaa is extremely expensive (appx $ 300.00)
Staying here was truly a magical experience. After we left here, we went to bora bora and stayed at one of the big resorts in an overwater bungalow, and this place beat Bora for me. Even when this property is fully booked, you feel like you’re alone. It’s very private and romantic. The view from our bungalow was exquisite and each bungalow has its own ocean access for swimming and snorkeling. The bungalow felt luxurious. On our boat ride in we saw dolphins, sting rays, and black tip sharks and our driver was excited to slow down and point them out to each of us. Talk about a great start to the trip! The food was AMAZING! We couldn’t wait until the next meal cuz everything was so delicious! Max was very kind and accommodating. We loved talking to the staff and learning some Tahitian words—Marooroo friends! I also recommend booking a full day boat tour—this was my favorite thing we did while there. This place is magical and you’ll be missing out if you don’t stay here. A couple tips based on what we noticed with other travelers: The dinners are chef’s choice, so if you’re a picky eater this might not be the best spot for you. If you’re not a picky eater, you will be blessed by the chef’s cooking! If you’re only a resort type traveler, know that this is luxury but it isn’t a resort, so don’t expect a resort! It’s on a private island, runs primarily on solar etc. If you need it to feel like an American hotel this may not be the spot for you. I can’t wait to return! À tout!
The most wonderful stay of my life so far. I hope someone finds this review while deciding where to stay in the western French Polynesian area and it tips the scale in Edens favour. I truly don’t believe any resort or island in the area could hold a candle to this property. World class snorkeling and reef exploring. Amazing cuisine. Delightful staff. Comfortable, functional and beautiful accommodations. We have visited several countries and stayed at many properties and Eden for now is absolutely number 1 and will always remain in my memory.
We had the most fabulous day at hotel Eden this past weekend. The staff are amazing. Solenn is a great hostess and so friendly and accommodating. Fabrice cooked us some amazing meals that we will remember for a very long time. In fact, he caught some of the fish in the water right outside our bungalow and we had it for supper. Celestine was an amazing masseuse and I had a very relaxing massage and salt scrub, listening to the waves as I drifted into sleep. The trip to this private island was the highlight of our trip and we are so glad we came and stayed there. This was a celebration trip for my retirement and the staff and the accommodation made it all worthwhile. We miss it and we hope to come back soon.
Stunning property and amazing staff. I wonderful retreat to relax with the family and enjoy the beautiful coral. The food was amazing as well and exceeded our expectations. We want to return again.
Amazing private island property right on a reef off of Tahaa. Food was amazing. Snorkel and kayaks available. Be aware that pricing of the rooms does not include $90/pp for transportation to the Riateaa airport round trip, nor does it include the meal plans that start at ~$100/pp per day. If Expedia or their website says $500 per night for 2 people it will end up costing $900 per night with everything included!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Overpriced and have to pay extra for transfers and food and was still hungry. Small portions for over $90 AUD a meal. Nothing much to do there and internet is really poor in the rooms as it uses an extender.
A different type of stay rustic but luxurious. Cabins were large with all the amenities you could ask for. Being somewhat rustic there was no AC. The fan made up for that to a degree. Only 6 cabins made for a different take on your usual type of accommodation
My stay here was just what I was looking for. Quiet, solitude, and total paradise. Max the host was very communicative, helpful, and accommodating. The food was great, beds were comfortable, and the bungalows were spacious. The view from my bungalow was 10 out if 10. The water there is unreal. Shallow lagoon all around the small island was teeming with marine life. Including black tip sharks in the morning, rays, and I even saw a giant moray eel and octopus. So cool! If you’re looking for a quiet getaway to unplug this is hard to beat. If you’re looking for nightlife and more activities you’re better off staying at a large resort. But they had paddle boards and kayaks which was great. Too shallow to do much swimming but there were day excursions that you could plan for snorkeling and a trip to the Tahitian pearl and vanilla farm. Amazing! I’ll definitely go back
If you are not a “big resort” person this place is for you. My husband and I really liked the room and the view was amazing- probably just as great as an owb. We loved the peace and quiet, we are both water people and I was a little disappointed how shallow the water was which made swimming not as inviting but we did enjoy kayaking around. The staff was nice and the food was good. There is no choice on meals which was ok since we were only there for two nights. I did not feel the food was worth paying $100 a person but again for two nights it was ok. Our biggest complaint and why we would never go back is the transportation to the island is complicated. Our flight was delayed due to weather and we arrived at 4;30 instead of 3. There were 4 of us and they waited to pick us up but charged us double for the transfer. They said they were under no obligation to pick us up after 3:30 and have to charge us double. The manager said it is their policy and he was not flexible at all. It just left a bad taste in our mouth after spending so much money to stay there and they treat you like that. If you go you should fly in the day before to be safe. We liked the place but did not feel they appreciated our business and were just trying to make money by nickle and dimeing you.
Gilligan's Island meets White Lotus. That is how I would title our Edan Taha’a experience. The motu is just perfectly situated with breathtaking views and an abundance of fish to observe in the shallow (2 – 4 ft) lagoon. The 5 guest bungalows right on the water’s edge are spacious, comfortable, and much nicer than the photos indicate. Small staff is led by Max who does a good job running the show doing his best to keep everyone happy. Mosquitos and lack of A/C did not impact us at all. Highly recommend the full day semi-private boat tour excursion around Taha’a. The visit to the vanilla plantation and pearl farm were surprisingly interesting and snorkeling the coral garden and swimming with the blackfin sharks was very cool. Other days, we used the provided snorkeling equipment, paddleboards and kayaked to a small motu not far away. If asked to provide some constructive criticism, we were moderately disappointed with the food. It was good but did not meet our high expectations given the price and stellar reviews from year's past. For example, on our last night, our desert was an uninspiring simple fruit salad. The potential is there as we had an excellent swordfish entrée one night and a few good appetizers over the course of our 4 night stay. We were just expecting more and it’s the only thing holding me back from giving a 5-star review. However, overall we were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend others to spend 3 nights here!
Nous avons passé un séjour de rêve. Le lieu est juste magique, les bungalows sont ultra confortables et propres, le personnel adorable et au petit soin !
Les repas étaient excellents, frais et digne d'un grand restaurant.
Mille merci à toute l'équipe pour ce séjour parfait, nous reviendrons
Hôtel atypique disposant de seulement 5 bungalow avec accès direct sur le lagon.
Le service est hyper personnalisé et le personnel est au petit soin à tout instant.
Maxime a la réception s’occupe de tout, de l arrivée au départ et est disponible tout le temps.
La chef fait du sur-mesure en fonction des goûts de chacun et ne cuisine que des produits frais.
Superbe expérience au milieu du pacifique
Hôtel a recommander sans hésitations.
